The Effect of Occult Nodal Metastases on Survival and Regional Control in Patients With Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Objectives: To determine factors associated with disease‐free survival (DFS) and regional control in clinically node‐negative head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) patients with occult metastasis.
